A good friend once told me: Smart women make lists.

So I make a list, because Mondays are always hard for me to manage. If I don't accomplish a lot, or at the very least gather my thoughts into a comprehensive list that will tell me exactly what needs to get done, I mess up the entire week.

Thomas' rebuttal: Successful women complete their lists.

I run those two lines through my head everyday. Motivation is a challenging mountain to climb, especially on a sunny Monday after a fun weekend.

Sometimes I'm successful, a lot of times I'm not.
